MARCH 25-27, 2020: SAVE THE DATE!

Join us for the 2019 New Orleans Music Education Convening, hosted by Artist Corps New Orleans, New Orleans Arts Education Alliance, and Save The Music Foundation.

JANUARY 22-26, 2020: Folk Alliance International Annual Conference Theme: The Story of People and Place. FAI’s 32nd conference heads to the vibrant port city of New Orleans, the birthplace of jazz, beignets, Mardi Gras, and much more. A historical center of trade, the city has provided the setting for people to overcome language and cultural barriers by connecting through music and sharing cuisine. In this setting, we will celebrate places of collaboration and the shaping of new shared identities, art, and forms of expression. Conscious programming will explore the themes of diversity, inclusion, immigration, intersection, and influence. Ultimately each person has a story (especially as folk artists) of who they are, where they are from, and how the places they live in shape them.

JANUARY 7-10, 2020: Jazz Education Network (JEN) will hold its 11th Annual Conference in New Orleans. Including: Jazz Industry & Music Business Symposium l Performances l Workshops l Panel discussions l Research presentations l JENerations Jazz Festival with live mentoring clinics.
